He wears those dumb glasses 24/7.
He's the type who does charity work and has to make it known to everyone and their mother how good of a guy he is for doing some charity work or giving money.
In many interviews he just comes off arrogant.

Plus his band sucks.

He damaged his eyes because of wearing those glasses all the time, so now he needs them.

Mostly boils down to whether you're a fan of U2 or not ultimately, unless you're really big into following the humanitarian circuit. But I think even his ardent fans would concede the guy's fairly egotistical.

I'm also glad that I'm not the only person who got U2 and Coldplay mixed up at some point.

Didn't he do a charity fundraiser, keep all the money, and then claim that his contribution was "adding exposure to the issue" as justification? Or am I thinking of someone else?

He blames America for everything, he wants to pull El Salvador out through the amps, wants America to pay for aids. America takes responsibility and gets criticized.

Not the best source, but I think I found the details of what I was talking about and I'm too lazy to hunt harder:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1314543/Bonos-ONE-foundation-giving-tiny-percentage-funds-charity.html

The non-profit organisation set up by the U2 frontman received almost 9.6million in donations in 2008 but handed out only 118,000 to good causes (1.2 per cent).

The figures published by the New York Post also show that 5.1million went towards paying salaries.

ONE spokesman Oliver Buston has now defended the way the organisation is run, insisting the money is used for promoting its campaign and raising awareness rather than being given straight to those who need help.

He said: 'We don't provide programmes on the ground. We're an advocacy and campaigning organisation.'
